About

Cork’s population is expected to hit the half a million figure over the coming years, making it one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Cork must now put measures in place to ensure it can manage this welcome growth.

Changes introduced will make it easier for those coming into the city by prioritising the flow of traffic on the city quays and prioritising buses on St. Patrick’s Street, which is the main public transport corridor in the city, with almost 1,000 buses using it every day.

On August 9th, a bus corridor was introduced on St Patrick’s Street between 3.00pm and 6.30pm every day, and the use of the street – for that period only – will be limited to buses, taxis, emergency vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
